Tanka verses ( juxtaposing last two lines)

 

 

 A golden rising sun

Gently touched my closed eyes

Sun rays warmed   skin

Pulled me out of my sweet dream

We were nestling like  birds

 

 

 Summer time it was

Ripening lemon yellow fruit

Spreading its  fragrance lie

 Carefree birds in the morn sing

Underneath the yielding tree I be

 

 

Facing the four o clock sun

Step out into the wild

Directionless my stride,

Thoughts calm,

 Steering on life’s path

 

 

 

 Stillness of  the night

Heard the Barn owl hooting

Watched moon crisscrossing

 Motor boat hissed at the jetty further

Dogs barked, fishermen netted

 

 

Joyfully I tapped  my feet

 Best things in life comes free

 Happy to feel

Health is wealth

Loving is giving

An astute Jerry has said it well; loving is giving, as you have ended your poems last words.

Wonderful work on this Tanka, Roseline, read it twice, second time aloud. Ah, you so covered the emotions and sights within these verses, the last one, of course, said what needed to be said to intensify the thoughts of the above ones.

Eh . . . Can't help but point out this as my favorite three lines . . .
